Advice and So Saves the Life Of
Her Husband.
I am a wood carver by trade and it is
out of my line to write letters; but my
wife thought it was no more than right
that should let you know what your
remedy has done for me. and think
so too.

malaria in the nei2hborhood, but had
not personally suffered from it. 1t was
in 1880 l had my first attack. 1t came
on as such ''srAs cc'Hmonly do, with
headaches. loss OF appetite and ambi-
ton. chilly sensations with slight fever
afterwards, disposition to yawn and
stretch, and SO forth. Twas employed
at that time at Killians & Brothers,
furniture manufacturers. in West 32d
street. hoped the attack would wear
of, but as it didn't consulted a we'll
known and able physician in Morris
ania, who gave me q mime and told rie
what to do. can sum up the first four
and a half or five years of my expert
ence in few words. Occasionally I
was laid up for day or two. but on
the whole stuck to my work. kept
taking quinine. in larger doses from
year to year, and kept on getting weak
er and worse, slowly but surely, all the
time. My trouble was now well de-
fined and its symptoms were steady and
regular. l had dumb ague in its worst
form, and it was grinding me down in
spite of all that could do or the doc
tors could do. 1t held me in a grip like
fire ia q burning coal mine. The poison
had gone all through and over me and
nothing was able to touch it. was
fast losing flesh and strength, and about
March. 1881. knocked of work entire
ly and went home to be down sick, and
to die for all could tell. Iran down so
rapidly that l soon became unable to
walk any distance. Later went from
room Ia room in my own house only by
friends holding me up by each arm. The
doses of quinine were increased until
often ,ook thirty grams at dose. The
effects IF this tremendous stimulation
was to- make me nearly wild. 1t broke
my sleep all up. and often walked the
floor, or staggered about it, all night
long. scarcely able to bear any noises
or even human speech. My temper
was extremely irritable. As to food,
one of my little children would eat
more in meal than l could in day.
would order food and then turn from
it in disgust. l lived on quinine and
other stiinulants and on myself like q
bear in winter. The q,,inine set nv
head in whirl. and the liquor-given
as medieine-made my stomach SO
sick l coild not tolerate it.
From l75 pounds (my proper weight)
ran down to 81 pounds-thc weight
Of light girl-and was scarcely better
than skeleton.

During the latter part of this period,
early in 1886, my physician said:
"Milier, there's no useHin my taking
any more money of you. \ can't do you
any good. l might pour pounds Of quiz
nine down your throat and it wouldn'f
help YOU"
On the strength of this I gave up tho
Qse Of q.,inine altogether. and made up
ny mind to do nothing more and take
my chances.
Three weeks afterwards-about the
last Of May-my wife saw an advertise
ment Of Kaskine in a New York paper.
She told me of it. l said: "Stuff and
nonsense! it can't do me any good"
But she went to druggists, neverthe-
less, to get it. The druggist advised
her against Kaskine: he said it was
nothing but sugar; that she ought not
to throw away her money on 1t, &c.
He said he didn't keep it, but could get
it il she insisted on having it. Turn
ing away in disgust my wife spoke to
our neighbor, MIR. A. u. Hegewald,
who got her bottle at drug store in
Sixth avenue.
Almost against my will, and without
the least faith, began taking It. In
sleep. l stopped "secing ghosts" I
began to have an appetite and to gain
strength. This was now the first Of
June, 1886. and by the end of that
month was back at my bench at c. P.

We submit that the above astonish-

table men. is deserving of thorough
and candid investigation by thinking
people. And we further submit that
when druggists turn away customers
by falsifying the character of remedy
because they do not happen to have i
on hand, they do a great wrong. Il
this afflicted man had not disregarded

where for the remedy he would without
doubt have been in his grave.
